The slant helix solutions of the equilibrium shape equations for the biopolymer chains

Abstract

In this paper, we are going to use the results given by Thamwattana et al. [Q. J. Mech. Appl. Math. 61 (2008) 431] and Ali [J. Egypt. Math. Soc. 20 (2012) 1] for studying the biopolymer chains. The slant helix solutions of the equilibrium shape equations for the free energy model F=k2+τ2 are investigated. Then, the position vectors of these solutions are obtained.
